This color is EXCEPTIONAL. Rich "cadet" blue. Not my normal preferred blue color, but this seems very attractive.

Blacks and grays are definitely NOT my top inks. So this one will appeal to those who like that color range, but I don't particularly love it.

And finally, a medium gray that is supposed to be black. Like the other Williamsburg inks, this one leaves a lot to be desired.

Inked up my Nemosine with Sterling Violet. The next day the pen wouldn't write at all without being primed, i would say that diluting would probably be necessary.

http://sheismylawyer.com/She_Thinks_In_Ink/2015-Pens/20150110_145418.jpgSterling Violet....

 

Instructions: 1 package per 1 quart which is 32 fluid ounces.

 

Mixed at 1 full package in 16 fluid ounces.

 

You will want to dilute.

 

 

 

I should have checked to see which ink we were encouraged to dilute, and this may NOT have been one of them. I added water, and it came out very light. But then, it is a vintage ink, so maybe it needs to "rest" after being diluted...

I think this one is going to need some flow enhancer. When diluted it is washed out, when full strength it is cloggy.

OK, I give up. What's the color of "IG"??

You must look for the designation after IG.

For sure. I noticed decreased flow in less than two minutes in an otherwise wet Jinhao. Colors are off (too blue) but here it is nonetheless. It seems very water resistant. The spot at the lower left was rubbed vigorously and ended up tearing the paper before moving ink.

The Enidama is my favorite of the bunch of inks I got! I has an interesting effect with the color of it (at least in the swab) that I say I haven't seen before. The ink behaves quite well and I didn't notice any bleed through with the very wet swab on 28lb paper.

Here is the famous DragonToots Turquoise that is so raved about. I actually throughly enjoyed the swab on this one! At 100% it is a very very saturated color and is extremely flat. I diluted a small amount to 50% and it still was quite saturated and did not lose any of the hue.

 

Here is the ink at 100%. Notice that no sheen was present.

Here is the ink at 50%. You can clearly see a nice sheen which leans to reddish and silver-ish. I think I am going to dilute the rest of the ink to this concentration as well.

Amber's favorite ink, DromGoole's Blue-Steel, also proves to be quite a nice deep blue color which I don't see very often. This ink is not quite a blue-black which is nice because it is not too dark, but dark enough for assignments and other important things. It behaves quite nicely with no bleed through or feather on my regular 28lb paper which is good. It seemed like the ink was just going to sheen but it didn't. Aw well. I guess we can't have everything.

Williamsburg Black is up next. A more appropriate name for this ink should be Williamsburg Medium-Gray, as it is a medium-gray. I'm honestly not a great fan of blacks and grays, as I see them as a bit boring. However, this ink probably will find its way into my lineup as it behaves adequately well. I'm not sure if too much water was added to this one or the color is this gray though. Not going to test it.

Another Williamsburg was the Williamsburg Red. This one suffered similar problems with the color as the Black. The color is very unsaturated and comes out as a light pink color, like coral. I actually like this pink color, as I don't have one in my collection yet. This isn't quite red so I think I will be able to use it for assignments as well, without it conflicting with teachers' corrections. Sadly, I only got 2mL of this one, as it is quite nice.

 

If anyone doesn't want it, I will gladly take it off their hands!

The Williamsburg Blue, as you probably guessed, had the same issue as the other 2. The color is very light and unsaturated. This ink is also VERY translucent when it is actually on the paper, as I can clearly see the dots of my paper under it. This color is mildly interesting, and I'm not too sure what I think about it.

DragonToots Red is a nice deep red color, and heavily saturated at 100%. I have not tried this one at 50% but I believe it will be similar in performance to the Turquoise. Due to the saturation of this color, there was some noticeable show through on my regular 28lb paper, but it wouldn't turn off this ink for me.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
